How Much Does a Lean Consultant Cost?
Our UK based services are a fixed price arrangement that will provide you all the support you need to achieve your business goals.
Our free of charge initial assessment aims at learning more about your business challenges and providing you insight into the help we can provide.
What Is a Lean Manufacturing Consultant?
A Lean Manufacturing Consultant is a practical business coach who will provide your UK business with expert local knowledge and insights.
Their approach builds on the Lean Management philosophy of eliminating unnecessary waste, improving efficiency, and developing your people.
What Is a Lean Coach?
Like a sporting coach, a Lean coach does not “play the game” for you. Equally, our coaches are not simply trainers who provide knowledge but do not help you overcome the challenges of implementation.
A Lean coach will work alongside you and your team to develop solutions customised to the needs of your business, provide you with the specific Lean knowledge needed to implement those solutions and then support you along the way to overcome any implementation barriers or difficulties you might encounter.
How Can I Tell Good Lean Consultants From Bad?
An exceptional Lean consultant is one who combines a deep understanding of the Lean methodology with extensive practical experience implementing Lean in major global businesses.
Our UK Lean consultants also bring broader knowledge of manufacturing, supply chain and business processes across a wide range of industries, so that they can get to grips with your business fast and talk your language.
Our Lean consultants also have broad leadership and change management skills to bring your team along on the change journey and deliver a lasting change.
